This week the Remodelista editors celebrated the start of summer by rounding up easy design ideas to update a beach house, weekend retreat, or woodsy getaway. See five of their favorite ideas.
Painter’s Drop Cloth Bedspreads
Above: Solve summer rental decor woes with nothing more than a couple of canvas painter’s drop cloths. At the Spruceton Inn in the Catskills, the owners use laundered painter’s drop cloths as summer bedspreads.
Whisk away sand from any surface (front porch, kitchen floor, feet) with a handheld whisk broom that’s stylish enough to display on a peg when it’s not in use. See more in this week’s Steal This Look post.
Glass Ceiling Lights
Above: Schoolhouse’s retro-looking Norfolk 4-Inch Surface Mount Fixture has a faceted decagonal base and can be paired with a range of glass lampshades from Schoolhouse; $169 for the base.
Let the sun shine in with a clear glass ceiling light fixture. See our picks in this week’s 10 Easy Pieces post.
Open-Air Kitchens
